This book was written in 1995. Some momentous things have happened in the intervening years, but the message of this book still holds good. If anything it's even more important today. Things which seem strange can be quite familiar when you look at them closely and deep down we're all much the same, no matter how different we may seem on the surface. When I started reading the book to my grandchildren I did wonder if the subject of alien invasion was appropriate bedtime reading, but even sensitive and thoughtful Alex found it funny rather than frightening.
Colin McNaughton published his first book in 1976 and since then there have been more than sixty more. Some he has written and illustrated but he's perhaps best known as an illustrator. I've only seen "Here Come the Aliens!" but I think Alex, Ben and Olivia would like me to look out for a few more! We also have a review of [[Oomph! (Preston Pig) by Colin McNaughton]]. The are [[The Aliens are Coming by Ben Miller|more aliens]] on their way!
